Here are some guides that you guys can follow to fix common errors. If you guys know any error that are not listed in this thread, please feel free to reply below and I'll try to help you and also I'll edit this to add them. Please let me know if you also have solution/s for them.

*Note: Please make sure no other RO is running while attempting to connect to bRO. Also, make sure your files are clean. If you're planning to play on several servers at a time, make sure to make separate folders for them instead of putting them all together in 1 folder.


Error: Gepard shield loading but then immediately exits br.exe (client).
Solution 1:
1) Run Setup.exe as admin and use your graphics card instead of Direct3D HAL. Then press OK.
2) Run the patcher as admin and play.

Solution 2:
1) Run Setup.exe as admin and go to Sounds, and then mute both sounds (tick the 2 boxes there). Then press OK.
2) Run the patcher as admin and play.

Since I can't edit the main post, I'll just add this here:
Error: Failed to Connect to Server
Solution:
Main causes are missing files and anti-virus preventing you from playing.
1) Download the Full/Lite client and install (recommended to use full installer).
2) Run patcher as admin and play.

OR
1) Disable anti-virus / anti-virus protection.
2) Add bRO patcher and br.exe into your anti-virus exceptions list.
3) Run the patcher as admin and play.
3.5) Reinstall when needed and run patcher.
